Chapter 884: Punishment

First surprised, then surprised, and finally, those gray-blue eyes were like ripples in the lake, gradually calming down.

"In this way, I'm afraid that it was the overdraft of your mental power when you passed through the rift, which caused problems with your memory...... I've heard similar things before, and in general, it will slowly recover," Angus said softly, "Do you remember who I am?" ”

Lin An was silent, staring at him fixedly, the young man opposite looked at each other with a smile, Lin An said after a while: "There are some fragments." ”

"Angus, you always call me by my name."

"Angus," Lin An nodded, "What's the matter with the rift?" ”

Angus's eyes flickered, and his gaze swept around.

"Spatial Rift, we entered the Demon Realm through the Spatial Rift," his voice did not lighten up, the rhythm did not change, but changed to another language, and Lin An also understood it completely, "The reason is more complicated, but to put it simply, we were forced to enter the Demon Realm, but the race we belong to is the same as the Demon Race...... Mortal enemy. ”

Speaking the last word, the corners of Lin An's eyes jumped slightly.

"What they call 'human slaves' ......"

"The Demon Race once invaded the main plane, and there was a big war with our race, during the war, we had a large number of our own race taken captive to the Demon Realm, the details are difficult to count, but now we may have multiplied and survived a lot."

Angus said, "These captives are more popular in the upper echelons of the demon race, because the purer the bloodline, the more similar the appearance to the human race, but there are differences in some characteristics, the most significant feature of the high-level demons is that their pupil color is purple, the darker the color, the purer the bloodline, among which the dark purple can only be worn by the royal family." ”

Glancing at the robe on his body, Lin An understood the reason why he was treated respectfully as a superior person.

Angus seemed to understand Lin An's thoughts, "High-level demons are very rare, and they don't like to reveal their true faces in front of outsiders, the Anbuqi Mountain Range is located in the open sea, and the mountain people here don't even necessarily know the meaning of dark purple. ”

"Sounds like you know a lot about the Demon Realm."

Angus's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled without saying a word.

Lin An casually turned back to the topic, "That old man said that he had served the Demon God. ”

"Well, then he is probably the priest who once left An Buqi and entered the temple to study, and regarded you as a high-level demon who hid his appearance."

Lin An found that talking to Angus was really relaxed, and he had already told him the information he needed to know the most.

However, Lin An did not forget to see the vigilance in his heart at that moment, and Angus's words can also be seen as a test of how much of her current memory remains.

The relationship between this person and himself seems to be very complicated.

It stands to reason that Lin An should be uneasy, but she now finds it very interesting, and there is a kind of faith as firm as faith to support her, as if she feels that there is no need to be afraid.

Now it is certain that this body does have a past.

It's just that Lin An thought that the face she saw in the silver-handled mirror before obviously had her own shadow, and she faintly felt that things might be a little different from what she had imagined so far.

Her current identity is too complicated, as if it is a secret everywhere.

The book in his hand slowly turned another page, and Lin An stared at the content on it, silently absorbing the information he learned from Angus's mouth.

"By the way, the situation over there ...... spatial rift"

Angus's inquiry brought Lin An back to his senses, and Lin An said lightly: "I just woke up not long ago, and I haven't had time to ask yet." ”

As she spoke, she called out to the hill priest named Lux.

Lux was still respectful, and as soon as they met, he threw himself on the ground.

This time, Angus came forward to ask, and his clothing identity also looked much lower than Lin An's, like a member of Lin An's entourage, Lukes was not surprised at all that Angus came forward to talk to him, and even Lin An felt that his sincerity and fear had decreased a little, as if he was relieved.

The high-level demons are so terrifying to the subordinates?

Lin An silently noted this.

Angus is really good at digging for information, and Lukes probably doesn't even know what he is revealing in the answer.

Their conversation did not avoid Lin An, so Lin An learned that Lux was not the priest of the demon god he called him, but just a priest's apprentice, but this is the saying on the other side of the Inland Sea, and to the mountain people, they call people like Lux priests, which means "shepherds of the demon gods".

But even the apprenticeship of a priest is not something that ordinary villages can have.

In this area at the southern foot of the Ambichi Mountains, within a radius of fifty miles, there was only one priest like Lukes.

Lux was born in this village, but he was not only the priest of the village, but also the more than a dozen scattered villages nearby, nearly 3,000 mountain people, all worshiped Lux as a priest, and there were offerings and sacrifices every year, and he was protected by Lukes.

The villages and mountain people who have lost their priests must either choose another and train new priests in a short period of time, otherwise it is impossible to survive in this great mountain.

As for why he couldn't live, Lux didn't say, looking at the look on his face, as if this should be common sense that doesn't need to be explained, Angus certainly won't show his flaws and bypass the topic.

"By the way, I'm missing something......" Angus said lightly.

Luxs shook, and his upper body, which was originally too tall, knelt down again, "I beg your pardon, the slave has already retrieved the things." ”

His afterglow glanced at Lin An, and seeing that she didn't show anything else, he whispered to the door, "Bring it in." ”

A demon girl wrapped in gray-yellow animal skins, exposing her thighs and deep cleavage came in with a wooden tray, and her bright eyes swept in the direction of Lin An and Angus, and with disappointment in her eyes, she knelt on the ground, and the wooden tray in her hand was held high above her head.

There were four more people who entered with the demon girl.

At the head was a middle-aged demon who also held a tray with four things on it: a wooden spear, a long whip, a dagger, and a crude animal skin bag.

Following the middle-aged demons entered, there were three tall and strong young demons.

The leader is the demon boy Amda who saved Lin An, and the other two are shorter and stronger than Amda, and in terms of appearance, they are a little older than Amda.

The three young demons look like muscular men selected from the American bodybuilding competition, and unlike the draft winners, they have staggered scars on their bodies in addition to muscles.

They walked in on their own, their arms and upper bodies wrapped around the animal skin ropes, and the water-soaked animal skin shrank and strangulated deep into the flesh, making the faces of the three young demons a little purple.

Then, without saying a word, he fell to his knees as soon as he entered the door, kneeling two steps, facing Angus with his forehead to the ground.

The atmosphere in the cabin was as solemn as death.

Lin An didn't say a word, and handed over a qiē to Angus to deal with.

Angus came to the demon girl, did not give a little afterglow to the sexy demon girl, flipped through the tray she raised her head, found a white and gold tail ring and put it on, the tail ring shimmered, turning into a pale gold tattoo on the tail finger of his right hand.

Angus was silent for a moment, as if checking something, before putting back into the space the rest of the tray that had been taken from his coma, a broken white cloak, two cracked gem buttons, and a runestone.

The tray was empty, Lux waited for a while, nodded, and the demon girl retreated on her own in disappointment, and it was the turn of the middle-aged demon who came in behind to step forward.

Lux glanced at Lin An again, and saw that she still didn't show anything, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a snarling voice:

"Amda, Belk, and Durer have offended your Excellency and begged your ...... Punishment is given. ”

Lin An understood, those three young demons had all tortured Angus.

Lux looked at Lin An nervously, and Lin An's gaze wandered over the three young demons.

This kind of punishment seems to have a certain rule, Lin An has roughly guessed the effect of those things on the tray, but she is not sure if her guess is correct, and judging from the appearance of Lux and others, it seems that it is not normal to not punish the offender.

"Angus, you choose." Lin An handed over the choice to Angus.

Deep fear and despair instantly welled up in the bodies of the three young demons, and even the hope in Lux's eyes was instantly extinguished.

Lin An immediately sensed something.

In the eyes of Lux and others, Angus seemed to have a very low status and was completely a vassal of her.

They originally seemed to expect that Lin An did not value Angus, but the way she handed over her choice to Angus was, in their opinion, obviously valuing Angus, which disappointed their expectations.

"They treat Angus as a human slave?" Lin Anxin thought. As a captive alien race, the status of the human race in the demon world seems to be even lower than she imagined.

Even if you know that you are a member of the royal family, you will still be looked down upon.

Lin An soon realized that the situation she and Angus were in seemed to be even more dangerous than Angus had said.

Distracted, Lin An suddenly heard an exclamation, and Amda suddenly knelt in her direction, but was held down by Lux after only two steps, and Lux flashed with a slap and shouted angrily:

"Bold, Amda, do you want to find death!"

This was obviously a reply, but Amda, whose forehead was pressed to the ground, spat out two bloody teeth, and still struggled and cried out vaguely: "...... My lord, I told Dur to whip them...... To be punished...... Just punish me with one! ”

"My lord, Amda has never been out of the mountain, and he doesn't know how to be respectful and humble, please punish him severely......" Lux saw that Lin An did not have a trace of indifference, and his heart was cold, "Don't offend this village." ”

With a trembling hand, he moved his hand to his neck, took off a gray-white bone ring from the wooden staff, grasped it in his hand, and placed it tremblingly beside the four things on the tray.

"Lord Priest!"

The faces of the middle-aged demon and the other two young demons changed drastically.

Lux let go, Amda struggled to look up, a look of regret appeared on his face, the blood vessels on his face were prominent, his forehead slammed to the ground, and blood splashed at Lin An's feet.

Angus lowered his head, and suddenly said in a language that Lux didn't understand, "Their blood is also red, and those demons left in the main plane are probably affected by the law." ”

Commenting at a time like this that didn't matter to him, Lin Anxin thought that this person didn't seem to be as gentle as he seemed.
